gasket blew at 61000 miles and again at 88000 miles and they said even though under 100000 miles, it was one month over the 7 years. 2 times with blown head gaskets for the same vehicle and Ford not backing up their product is enough for anyone to never buy a Ford product again.

At 30K had to replace head gasket the first time. This was under original warranty. At 60K had to do it again. This time it was under "extended warranty". Now, at 102K, they want us to pay $2400 to have it fixed. I USED to like my car. Now I hope someone steals it and drives it into the river!
